Today, Jess takes us back to the first speech she ever gave. Fifth grade graduation at Cornelius Elementary School. 


Kids typically don't fear public speaking or sharing what's on their mind because they haven't been taught to think about what others are thinking of them. They haven't been taught that that maybe limits exist or maybe I'll fail.

Amplify with Jess is produced by Earfluence, and brought to you by Mic Drop Workshop.
